Karupatti Payasam can be made for any occasion. It is also healthy because karupatti is used instead of sugar. This is primarily prepared in South India. We make payasam or Kesari whenever we want to think of home-made sweets.
As I mentioned in my previous Kheer / Payasam posts Kheer is one fast and never go wrong dishes. It also provides options to be healthy too. Recently I use Palm jaggery in my diet. I feel my hemoglobin is getting better. Some of my friends also provided similar feedback. So for this festive season I wanted to try kheer with Karupatti / Plam jaggery. It tasted so nice (even though the color is not so appealing). Palm jaggery provided a different / unique taste to Kheer. We usually call it as a karupatti payasam.
